My wife and I were just married around 9 months when this song was on the radio. I was stationed at Dyess AFB, Abilene Tx. That year and half was so beautiful and she was just pregnant with our son. We both loved this song and sang it all the time. She died 4 years ago of cancer after 49 years. I miss her so and this song is still so beautiful.
Very sorry for your loss, Donald. I hope that time and the memories you have of your wife help ease the pain of losing her. Finally, thank you for your service, Sir.
For a year, I ran a choir for homeless people out of a soup kitchen downtown- and this was one of our old standby's. They always spoke with respect about Bill Withers. Another favorite was Take Me Home Country Roads, You've Got a Friend and You Raise Me Up. Singing together has such Power!
We have lost another true legend i just found out that he passed away.Bill Withers was more than just a singer,guitar,piano player ,Seven time Grammy award winner and he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the class of 201. He left us with many great songs that were the soundtracks to our lives with songs like Lean On Me,Grandmas Hands,Use Me,Who Is He And What is he to you which was covered by so many but in my opinion the cover version and another all time classic of that song was by Creative Source till this day that song still gets played.Bill had many other classics but when he hooked up with the late great Grover Washington Jr. on their monster hit Just The Two Of Us which they won in 1981.Bill made history at the 30th annual Grammy Awards on March 2, 1988, becoming the first songwriter to win for best R&B song three times. R.I.P Bill Withers thank you for sharing your great talents to the world.
Agreed, I first heard his beautiful voice and music as a small child, in the basement of my Aunt's house in North Philly, where I spent the best days of my childhood and our family gathered, played, sang along and danced. Beautiful memories, timeless music. Rest in peace and love, Bill. 💖✌🙏🎵
Shortly after my brother got the news of terminal cancer, we heard this on the radio several times after not hearing it played for years. It became (his) our song. This song & He ain’t heavy he’s my brother , leaves me in tears 14 years later. A bitter sweet sound. God bless Bill Withers 💔
Heard this song on the radio when I was 10. I didn't know what he was singing about back then, but I fell in love immediately. Please rest in peace Bill Withers.
I was walking in town feeling somewhat down. There was busker singing in the street and he started to sing this song 3:32 it was my Lord speakin to me through that song. speaking to me through that song.
27/03/20 corona virus lockdown UK. 07:48am listening to Bill Withers.... No problem. I can't believe he passed away 3 days after my comment above. RIP Bill. Truly brilliant songwriter. A lot of depth with simple lyrics. A very hard thing to do. You did it in your sleep.
Who can dislike this songs message?!! We all have times where we feel strong and vulnerable. No matter what you're going through keep fighting and try find that person or group of people to lean on!! It also reminds you that you may be the voice a someone needs to hear to keep pushing. This song is just what the 🌎 needs to hear right now!!
These values have been overlooked and one-sided. Regardless of whether skin, thin, slim. Please direct the correct policy equally. Feelings are more valuable than old gold. Live to Love
This song needs to be on rotation on every radio station. This world needs this reminder. "Sometimes in our lives we all have pain...We all have sorrow...if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow...Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend...I'll help you carry on...For it won't be long..Til I'm gonna need..Somebody to lean on"
My family was taking me to the airport for my study abroad program, and my brother played this on the way. It's been 6 months now. I still play it and cry.
Played this at my dad's funeral 6 years ago. Makes miss him whenever I hear it but always feel comforted by the end. RIP. Thanks for everything Mr. Withers.

God Bless everyone
Oh yes I’ve had my share of listening to this beautiful song all of my life during difficult but also joyous days as well. Especially during these times we are living in now. May you Rest In Peace Mr. Withers🙏🏽
In his song "Grandma's Hands" he said Heaven would be to see his grandmother's hands again. I'm sure he is with her. R.I.P. Bill Withers you gave so much with your music.
I’ve listen to this song when I was 8 going through abuse and been listening ever since now I’m 16 and I’m very sad he died😨😭😭 Rip Bill Wither.... WHY ARE LEGENDS DYING😭
Javier Aguirre as sad as it is, his earthly work is finished. You are stronger for listening to his music just like others.as Shakespeare’s Macbeth said “life’s but a walking shadow,a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more .it is a tale told by an idiot,full of sound and fury signifying nothing .“ Mr withers strutted his music off the stage of life and oh , what beautiful music he left behind.At least we get to enjoy that so cheer up. r.i.p Mr Withers.

You can rest now brother. Your songs will live forever! I can't believe I cried at the news, lol
You were more important to me than I knew😐😞
RIP
This song let's you know it's okay for a man to cry.
It okay to cry
A true man pushes his emotions into a deep dark whole and never lets them out because it is a sign of weakness in society to show emotion
@@williambethel6999 Its okay for a man to cry his kingdom ( Family Home). Its not okay for a man to cry alone in his mancave.
As man is just as human as woman...equal couterparts working insync
It's always ok I do Everytime I listen to a song that reminds me of the love of my life that passed away March 12 2019 saddest day of my life
